Walter R. Wheeler, Senior Architectural Historian at Hartgen Archeological Associates, will present a talk on the early European-American building traditions of our region and how they evolved in response to availability of natural resources, changing technologies and cultural influences. This survey is informed by 40 years of field work and the recent completion of the Thematic Study of Dutch Heritage Resources in the Greater Hudson Valley, which was compiled and edited by Mr. Wheeler and published in 2022.
